I am a US educated RN with an Associates Degree and was seeking my RN license to work in Australia. I have received my license to practice in Australia and just wanted to give information to anyone else going down the same road. I am an Australian ...
NSLIJ has a waiting period for tuition reimbursement as do most hospitals, and the the amount they do pay per year does not even cover a semester of tuition, particularly for those onsite classes they refer to. This is not a free ride to a BSN.

Congrats to everyone who got in!! Great news When I was there a couple years ago they did allow us to wear white (all white) leather sneakers. Two uniforms is plenty.
Re: MSKCC on their website you can set up a profile and submit a resume to HR without applying to a particular job. Also, when I graduated in early June '08, my school sent our info out right after graduation and I took the nclex early July, some in ...

Kuklara511 and OSuro, sorry to hear about the rejection, don't give up trying though, you've come this far already. Kem215 - I graduated in June, took nclex pals/acls in July and my job was confirmed in August, started in October.

Yes, I started on my BSN right away, I actually did everything in my post except work as a CNA, I worked full-time elsewhere but still in the medical field, not in a hospital. I just heard from others it helped if you already worked for a hospital. ...

I graduated from pbisn in 2008. The education/skills you receive their will set you up well to function as a nurse once you have graduated and once you eventually start working. As for the comment about 75% having jobs from the survey they did, I w...

Hi I don't think we are missing your point, it's just really hard to get sympathy with so many US nurses unable to get jobs right now. Recruitment agencies that foreign nurses work with have no connection with government agencies (immigration for ex...
I registered with Tasmania Board of Nursing with an Associates degree, my whole process was pretty quick. I had 1.5 yrs nursing experience when I applied and a nursing certification in addition to my degree. Like everyone says it is a case by case ...

Yes I am a dual citizen. NY just happened to be where I was living at the time I was ready to start on my nursing career, no other reason for choosing the US over Oz. I am looking forward to eventually nursing in Australia though :)
I am an AAS RN and was also interested in Oncology before I even started at nursing school. I graduated June 08 and was lucky to be able to get a heme/onc position early in my career, I already have my OCN certification and haven't looked back. I k...
I remember having to take Chem prior to A&P when I did pre-reqs are few years back. Best to call the Nursing Dept or check with your advisor. Good luck in your studies.
I keep in touch with several from my class who are still looking. Many of them can't even land interviews with HR recruiters let alone an interview with a NM to gain a position. BSN's will be taken over an AAS degree and there seems to be enough BS...
I graduated this past June with an Associates degree and was employed as a new grad. I was told 20% of my class still don't have jobs yet and they all have their licenses. So yes, it is possible to get a job as a new grad w/associates it just may ta...
Not sure when the hiring freeze started but they called me a couple weeks ago for an interview for a med/surg position. I declined the interview so unable to find out more info.
Mount Sinai Queens is 61K for days. They only require 12 shifts per month not 13 as many other hospitals do. Benefits start 90 days after hiring and it is 1199. Tuition reimbursement is effective 1 year after employment at 6 credits per semester.
